Adaptive Path/CAM Operation

[dubstar-04]

I had a quick play with the new feature, looks good!!

Infact it looks very similar to the HSM tool path.

Would it be possible to make it smart enough to recognise the inside profile and machine around it keeping the tool down?

This is looking incredible. You should consider pushing this to master in the EnableExperimentalFeatures to get wider testing.

I don't think I have time this week but soon I would like to run this path on my machine and see how it does.

Late to the party - and I agree with all the ppl who encourage you to make a PR, this would make an awesome addition to Path and from my limited testing I think it's ready. I built and installed your op for the first time today and played with it, this is really good stuff. My models are certainly not the most complicated ones, but I haven't found any issues at all.

Also, I created a PR against your repo to incorporate the changes necessary for the latest master (I broke your integration with the changes for the op default values).

Let me know if you need any help integrating with the FC build system or prepping a PR - although - looking at your code I highly doubt you're gonna need any help.

I see something very exciting happening on your GitHub...

Not sure if you have spotted this but rapids are done where there is stock, i.e the tool moves inwards to rapid when cutting from outside in. :

Thanks for the PR,

I will prepare PR probably in the next few days, need to test some more those recent additions (ouside-in clearing and keep-tool-down linking) first.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for pointing that out, did not notice it until now (so far I ran only simulations for inside-out). I will fix that.

You are doing a fantastic job with the adaptive operation it's really looking good.

I'm more than happy to keep testing. Next week I would like to run a part on my machine and see how it goes!

Thanks again,

Dan
